“Beautiful cottage and gardens!”

Just as it was portrayed. Very peaceful to relax in but also lots of walks and pubs around aswell. The cottage was very cosy and warm and it was well equipped to cook in . Altogether it was a wonderful holiday location and I hope to come back again !

“Our stay at Foley's Cottage was fantastic!”

Initial communications with Judith were warm and welcoming and any queries we had throughout our stay were promptly attended to and resolved. The property is situated in a lovely area with beautiful tiered gardens at the rear. The summer house was a great addition with a small fridge to keep drinks cool, and shelter for respite from the sun. The cottage had everything we needed for the week and we even managed to have a fire on one of the cooler evenings, that said, the central heating is excellent so the fire was more for atmosphere and marshmallows ;) The only issue we had was with the address that Sykes listed on their website and in their communications, which was incorrect, however Judith's directions were spot on and once I fed this back to her she was going to contact Sykes to have it rectified. 100% would love to stay again!

- Simon, June 2021

Sarah May 2021

“We had a lovely holiday at Foleys Cottage it was a beautiful cottage and fantastic garden right in the middle of all things we wanted to see in Wiltshire.”

It was Nice to arrive to a welcome pack and there is a pub/restaurant just 2mins walk which serves amazing food

Robert May 2021

“Foley's Cottage is a beautiful, peaceful location.”

It is so picturesque and in the perfect location. Set on its own, but only a short walk to the local hostelry "The Dove Inn". Very easy to get to and only a short drive to many local attractions, such as Stonehenge, Salisbury, The New Forest and Bournemouth, to mention just a few. It is also perfect for a walk in the countryside too. After a pleasant day out, it's the perfect place to return to and relax, either in the beautiful gardens or the summer house. The enclosed yard is perfect for a relaxing meal outdoors in the fresh air, or under the cover of the very large umbrella, if the weather isn't too favourable. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay, and can't wait to return again. There was a lovely welcome hamper to greet us when we arrived. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here, it's the perfect location for couples, families, or a group of friends. I guarantee you won't regret a stay here.

- Robert, May 2021

Anne-marie August 2020

“Foleys Cottage was even more beautiful than we imagined!”

From the quintessentially English garden to beamed low ceilings, uneven floors and even the antique rocking horse, it was perfect! The owners were really helpful and the cottage was clean and in good condition, with lovely extras like toiletries and a welcome hamper. We would definitely recommend this cottage and will hopefully return ourselves soon

- Anne-marie, August 2020

Richard October 2019

“The lovely cottage is in a very rural location offering great walks amid beautiful countryside, however, close by pubs at Corton, Upton Lovell and Stockton Park offered great food and a very warm welcome.”

We would highly recommend Foleys Cottage

- Richard, October 2019
Carol September 2019

“The beds really comfortable, the sofas also comfortable, the top bedroom and the garden room were delightful.”

Unfortunately it was let down by the following, Both the lounge and master bedroom were extremely dark, we had to have the lights on all the time but even then they were still dark. A large part of the garden was very uncared for. The parking area was a joke. If two cars were able park there it would have been a miracle. As well as being quite steep the parking area also dipped to one side. Unpacking and packing the top box was extremely challenging. A note was left informing us that the main shower was not working which meant six people had to use a very small ground floor shower, I think that might warrant a some sort of refund. Whether you publish this feedback I leave to you, but I feel that the description was not quite accurate. But I take my hat off to the photographer for making it look so much better than it was.

- Carol, September 2019
Jack August 2019

“The cottage and gardens are charming & absolutely wonderful.”

We thoroughly enjoyed choosing different settings to have morning coffee, a meal, afternoon cheese & wine or evening cocktail. There are just so many fabulous options. Picking an apple, pear or even local brambles (that are everywhere), to have with breakfast, was a bonus. Local pubs recommended by the proprietor are worth repeated visits. We certainly hope to return to Foley’s Cottage again in the future! Thank you!

- Jack, August 2019
Susan July 2019

“I think the reassurance of using a well established company when choosing your family holiday cannot be underestimated.”

There are no worries about being scammed and you know that should there be any problems at all you can contact Sykes Holiday Cottages directly. We had an amazing family holiday!

Mark June 2019

“Wifi is very hit and miss and you have long periods when there is no access.”

Local pub The Dove Inn was really good. The garden was very relaxing.

- Mark, June 2019

Dear Mr Grunwell, Thank you for alerting us to this matter, you will be pleased to know that fibre has just become available in our area so we have installed the most powerful wi-fi hub on the market to ensure that the WiFi is fast and reliable. Property Owner
Mr Thatcher December 2018

“This was our second visit to Foley's Cottage,the first being during the Summer.”

It was every bit as good during the Winter. Beautifully warm and comfortable and very well equipped. My wife and I together with our two grown up children had a wonderful Christmas in this beautiful cottage.My only comment is that a little padding on the main beam in the living room would be appreciated by this over 6ft tall man but that's largely my own fault!

- Mr Thatcher, December 2018
Mr & Mrs Binns and family

“Thank you so very much for the wonderful welcome basket and for allowing us to stay in your little peace of heaven.”

The house is delightful and the gardens are spectacular. Our children really enjoyed the summer house. We visited Stonehenge, Salisbury, The Eden Project, Oxford and Bath. We've toured houses and gardens but I think for all of us our favourite thing about the week has been our country walks around Corton and our quiet evenings in the cottage. Such a special place.

- Mr & Mrs Binns and family,
Bresnie-Hoffman family

“We have fallen in love with this cosy cottage, so tastefully decorated with all amenities.”

Very peaceful, the Summerhouse was so special - it and the gardens are quite magical. Loved the Dove Inn and the food at the Ginger Piggery was delicious. The surrounding towns and villages are out of a fairy tale. We visited Bath, Stow on the Wold and Chipping Camden as well as Salisbury and Stonehenge. Spent our last day here at the cottage. Thank you for our Welcome Hamper! Most of all thank you for sharing this very special home with us. We hope to return soon!

- Bresnie-Hoffman family,
The Carnie family

“A wonderful stay in an idyllic cottage.”

It's a cottage which typifies rural England at its best! Full of character and charm - the master bedroom leading onto the garden is a superb feature. Thank you for a great stay!

- The Carnie family,
The Lay family

“After watching so many episodes of Escape to the Country it was wonderful to stay in a thatched cottage and experience the beautiful English countryside!”

We had a fantastic week. We loved Cheddar Gorge, Longleat and going on a canal ride in Bath. We had a lovely dinner at the Prince Leopold Inn and got to feed trout in the river! The garden leading out from the bedroom is beautiful. We have had a lovely week in your beautiful cottage. Thank you.

- The Lay family,
The Evans and Clarke families

“Very relaxing stay in a warm, cosy and welcoming cottage.”

Would highly recommend Stonehenge, Bath and Longleat - especially if staying with children. So much to see and do in this lovely area - could do with another week.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We stayed here for a short break in October.”

It was a picturesque location and allowed our family of 6 to spread out, play in the gardens and relax at home for dinner. We could also easily get to Bath and Stonehenge. Special thanks for walking us through the last few meters to the place as we arrived late at night and it was difficult to see the cottage!

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“This was our first family holiday at Foley's Cottage and we had a wonderful time.”

The cottage itself is charming, with a lovely garden. The rooms are all cosy and comfortable and the kitchen/diner was a natural gathering spot. The location is perfect for exploring Wiltshire and we made day trips to Stonehenge, Longleat, Bath and Avebury. Warminster is close by for shopping (and has a Waitrose). Several nice country pubs are nearby for evening meals. A lovely place to stay - highly recommended!

“What a beautiful cottage in a stunning part of the world.”

We had three full days of walking (70km in all). Wow!! Forest, hills, wildlife and beauty all around. Salisbury is a lovely city and the cathedral a must to visit. Thank you.... we will be back!

- Mr and Mrs Baldwin,
Mr & Mrs Dullage

“We have had a lovely holiday in this beautiful cottage.”

There was nothing missing that could have made our stay any better (thank you for the thoughtful goody basket). We visited Cheddar Gorge (beautiful views, well worth the climb), Longleat, The Bratton White Horse (again breath taking views), Poole (lovely finds at the pottery). Thanks again, we have already told our friends!

- Mr & Mrs Dullage,

A memorable nine days! Heart-filled thanks.

“Thank you for a lovely stay in your super cottage.”

We loved the retreat it gave us over the festive period. The walks around here are lovely and relaxing (even with three kids in tow!). We visited Bath which was busy but stunning. We were also given a tip from the lady at The Dove Inn about the Festival of Lights at Longleat - we managed to get a couple of tickets and went on 2 January and the whole thing was amazing. We would love to come back some day.

We have been very comfortable in the cottage and the garden is beautiful. We have loved spending both sunny mornings and evenings on the terrace and lounging in the big garden chair!\ Thank you very much for the lovely stay, we would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone.\

We visited some of the surrounding villages and enjoyed afternoon tea then games in the summer house! Would definitely recommend The Dove Inn for a meal as we enjoyed a wonderful Sunday roast!

“The cottage was charming and nicely located - very peaceful.”

Wonderful gardens. The layout of the rooms worked well. Furniture and fittings were comfortable, attractive and homely. The cottage feels like a home and not simply a holiday let. The kitchen and fittings let the house down a little, hence not awarding the top score.

“The cottage was very well appointed and very comfortable.”

The kitchen was very well equipped.the garden was beautiful and a real pleasure to sit in.....we had amazing weather!

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“The very definition of "quaint", Foley's cottage looks like your typical old-fashioned, English home on the outside: small and charming (and thatched!”

), but inside was big enough for our family of 4 kids and 2 adults to come "home" to and relax next to a cozy fire after a tiring day of exploring the countryside. Kids (ages 6, 8, 9 and 11) loved exploring, roaming and running around the backyard playing all kinds of games. Going further afield, its location was ideally situated for day trips out to Bath, Avebury and Salisbury. Would not hesitate to recommend Foley's Cottage to friends and family ... but only if I don't book the place again first!

The Peake

“What a beautiful and welcoming cottage.”

The photos do not do it justice! We have had a wonderful week here, log fire burning, games. Everything you could need is here and the kitchen well equipped so we were able to cook a wonderful Christmas dinner

“Thank you for letting us enjoy a few days in this magnificent cottage, the ideal home for a truly traditional Christmas; it made all the difference!”

Beautiful grounds all around and some crispy snow on Wednesday!

We all felt at home during this time. Thank you so much for everything. This place offers the perfect relaxing feeling and still you will get to see lots of places.

The property

Tucked away behind mature hedges and approached via a wooden footbridge, Foley's Cottage is every inch the quintessential English country cottage - thatched, detached, tucked away on a quiet lane, impossibly cute and surrounded by a delightful garden.

Unsurprisingly we fell in love with the cottage when we visited and are sure you will too!

Inside the cottage is cosy and peaceful yet it is full of traditional charms which give it a lovely, historic feeling.

The colours are restful and muted and with the added attraction of good quality furnishings, you can't help but feel right at home.

A stroll to the top of the grounds is rewarded by sweeping views of the surrounding downs.

In the orchard you'll find the well-appointed summerhouse providing a wonderfully peaceful haven for relaxing after a day's activities in this outstanding area, perhaps before taking a short stroll to the famous Dove Inn and restaurant just below.Its instant chocolate box visual appeal is obvious and we'd imagine you'll enjoy it as much as we did.

Foley's Cottage has been awarded 4 stars (Gold Award) by Visit England.

About the location

WARMINSTER

Frome 7.6 miles

The delightful Wiltshire market town of Warminster can be found to the south west of Salisbury Plain, at the head of the lush Wylye Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Well known for its military connections, the old charm of the town centre has been preserved, where you can still find quaint houses and inns built from the local Warminster stone. Just a two scenic walk away there are lovely walks in abundance, whilst no visit to this area would be complete without exploring the stunning house, gardens and safari park at Longleat. Warminster boasts three supermarkets, many restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, several antique shops, a museum, a theatre, a magnificent park with a lake, skatepark, tennis courts and a nature reserve, Smallbrook Meadows can be accessed on foot, starting with just a short stroll. The award-winning Warminster Maltings who still malt barley the traditional way for the beer industry, do occasional tours for visitors and cream teas in Summer. Alternatively, visits to the magnificent cities of Bath and Salisbury, or Stourhead, National Trust and Stonehenge, British Heritage are not to be missed. This lovely area is full of surprises, providing a great base for your excursions.
